I don’t know where the term “rug burns” actually originated, but I like to think my friend and I came up with it.  🙂  As we walked some difficult paths together, God frequently brought us to our knees.  Not literally mind you (I don’t tend to last long kneeling – I’m 41 after all).  However, rug burns are the best way of seeking the Lord with anything difficult.

Pleading in prayer.

Philippians 4:6-7  “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
